Caldera Mesh Lawsuits

Women who have suffered complications after undergoing surgery with a
Caldera vaginal mesh or bladder sling may have legal recourse. It has
been alleged that the mesh products contain a design defect which puts
women at risk for mesh erosion, scarring and other complications that
they did not receive proper warning about prior to surgery.

In light of
these claims, the class action attorneys at Morgan & Morgan are investigating
potential lawsuits on behalf of women who suffered complications
following surgery with a Caldera mesh or bladder sling in the repair of
pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A
number of lawsuits have already been filed against Caldera Medical over
its T-Sling and Desara pelvic mesh claiming that severe injury directly
resulted of the products’ implantation.

FDA Warns About Mesh Complications

In Oct. 2008, the FDA warned that it had received 1000 reports from
nine separate vaginal mesh manufacturers of complications with mesh
products used in the surgical repair of POP and SUI. These complications
included, but were not limited to the following:

Mesh erosion

Urinary problems

Pain, including pain during sex

Recurrence of prolapse or incontinence

Blood vessel, bladder and bowel perforation during insertion

Vaginal scarring

Decrease in quality of life due to complications

Nearly three years after its initial warning about vaginal mesh
complications, the FDA updated its safety communication warning that
complications associated with the surgical repair of POP with a mesh
product are not rare, as it had initially reported.

The agency warned
that transvaginal POP repair with a mesh may put patients at a greater
risk for complications than other treatments; with this greater exposure
comes no evidence of a greater clinical benefit, such as an improved
quality of life, according to the FDA.

The FDA found that the number of reports of complications continued to
increase since the 3-year period on which it previously reported (2005
to 2007). The agency received an additional 2800 reports of
complications associated with mesh products used to repair POP and SUI
between Jan. 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2010.

While these reports stemmed from
a number of vaginal mesh products, it has been alleged that Caldera
Medical Inc. knew that their mesh implants exhibited a high rate of
failure and complications, which often required additional surgery,
and failed to properly warn patients and the medical community about
this risk.
